Hi all,
just brought the above and want to know if the fog/driving light only work when using full beam, ie when flashing headlights to let someone know your there.?.?.
On my ukturbo i used to have you just push the fog light button and they came on, with thw P1 nothing happens???
Many thanks Justin

Cool

Justin,

only come on with headlights/main beam.

If you want to use them while 'flashin' (ooeerrr!) leave the button pressed in!!

top tip.

start your car, turn on your lights and play. Should take a whole minute to suss it out.

The P1 lights are not foglights, they are driving lights, so by law are only allowed to be on when main beam is on.

To recap Justin,

They are driving lights, not fogs, therefore only come on with main beam.

However leave the button pressed in and they will come with headlights when 'flashing'.

Just remember they're already switched on when you use main beam.

OK now?

Steve.

john, the only time Rich drives his car is only to go to Santa Pod. Even then he'd manage to get lost despite going there 100 times this year alone.

Mouse, LOL mate..


The other thing is if you've got the covers on, then press the light switch so they don't come on with main beam..
